Description
Around the globe, scientists are racing to solve a series of mysteries. They suspect we have entered a time of global change swifter than any human being has ever witnessed. Where are we headed? Can we alter this course of events?
Description
Invaders: Non-native plant and animal species are taking over entire ecological zones, with devastating consequences for the original inhabitants, including humans. Join scientists rushing to better understand these on-going invasions, and what can be done to curb the alien attack.
Description
The one degree factor: A declining caribou population in Alaska, rising asthmas rates in the Caribbean, ailing coral reefs and temperature shifts in the world's ocean are happening around the globe. Join scientists investigating these seemingly random occurrences and explore whether they are all linked to one Earth-changing phenomenon.
Description
Predators: From Caribbean coral reefs to Yellowstone's forests, serious disruptions in once-stable ecological zones are being linked to a common factor: loss of major predator species. As scientists work to understand the vital role of predators, the question remains: even if humans can co-exist with large carnivores, is it too late to bring them back?
Description
Troubled waters: Something is decimating aquatic life in the world's oceans, rivers, ponds, and streams. Now, set sail with scientists studying the rapidly increasing pollution of our waterways, and see how advanced research using plants and bacteria is being deployed to help stem the rising toxic tide.
